In the book “Birdsong” by Sebastian Faulks (the author), demonstrates the advantages of being in power, and being rich. During the First World War, Stephan who enlisted to fight the Germans was put into a position of power. He quickly rose to the rank of left-tenant, with this power, he was given the ability to court martial any soldier who did not follow the strict army rules. One night, as Stephan was walking around at night to inspect the sentries, he saw one of the sentries sleeping. He woke…

In the end of the Lord of the Flies Jack showed complete savagery. Jack started a cold-hearted chant while playing with the boys, “Kill the pig! Bash him in! Cut his throat!” (Golding, 1954, p. Page 104). He lost all apathy he once had towards the pigs and the other boys. His priority was always to get meat, but he changed overall from believing this…

musicians and had a very good influence to be one. My third favorite piece My third favorite piece by Stravinsky is movement 3 of “Three Pieces for String Quartet” and it is called “Cantique”. In English cantique means canticle, which is like a hymn or chant with biblical text included. The key signature of this piece is C major. The main articulation is legato. The tempo is tutti sul tasto. The dynamics include much piano. If this piece were a…

The metaphysics of ancient Hawai’i are unique and reflect metaphysics of both dualistic and monistic ways of thinking. As I address that theory in this paper I will be comparing and contrasting the difference in the Western philosophies of Plato to that of old Hawai’i before the coming of the Christians missionaries in 1820. I will also explain the ways in which I found ancient Hawaiians were also similar to Eastern monistic ways of thinking. In both cases, Hawai’i seems to be unique because…

friends. Hanging with them made me feel like I was living life to the fullest. When tryouts came we tried out in the afternoon. Some people had time to practice the tryout material before they were called into the building, which consisted of a cheer, chant, dance, jumps, and tumbling if you had any. We received numbers for the order we would tryout in, and it would be in groups of three. Ashley and I did not get to try out together so that made me nervous. Once I was called into the building I…

Mircea Eliade’s theory describes religion as a “paradigmatic solution for every existential crisis”. The theory has many tools, including the concepts of therapeutic myth, the “twofold plane”, and the contrast of sacred and profane, all of which allow phenomenologists to disseminate and interpret religions. Using the tools of the theory to analyze the birth of Ntxawm’s first child and Hmong religion, I argue that the theory is useful and effective in helping us understand the Hmong traditions.…

Ana-Luic legend carries from many centuries ago, from a tribe of mischievous group of small people who lived hidden in the forests and valleys of the islands, before the first western settlers arrived. These arcane bloodlines of Ana-Lu, which means the Owl Gods, roamed the old forests, and happen to be about 3 ½ to 5 ½ feet tall, though considered short by many, what they lacked in height and strength they utilized in intelligence, agility and stamina. Like other cultures they enjoyed dancing…

A high summer flood captured Rikki-tikki and carried him away from his mother and father to a roadside ditch. This was the beginning of a fierce war fought by Rikki-tikki, the mongoose. These events occur in the short story “Rikki-tikki-tavi” by Rudyard Kipling. The story takes place in a bungalow in the Segowlee cantonment in India. It depicts that sometimes, it is necessary to put yourself at risk to protect or defend others. Rikki-tikki puts himself at risk to save the family that he now…

They can also live below sea level for 200 meters.The rattle sounds like an indian spirit chant, because it slows, then speeds up for three beats, and slows for three beats. This is significant because no other snake can perform this. The venom of both Diamondback(western and eastern) is hemotoxic. And they like to stay in some dark places, but…
